Association History

You have to know where you’ve been to know where you are going. Kappa holds a special place in its heart for Fraternity history, but every association of our organization has unique beginnings of its own. Each plays a part in shaping us today and continuing the Kappa tradition beyond college.

Founded in 1924, our association has served Kappa alumnae living in and around the Palo Alto area for over 90 years. Each year our members participate in a variety of social and philanthropic events, celebrating our commitment to Kappa Kappa Gamma and our sisterhood. Our members include over 80 women from over 50 different collegiate chapters. They range in age from recent graduates to women who have been proud members of Kappa Kappa Gamma for more than 75 years - proving that Kappa really is for life!

No matter your interests or career goals, whether you are new to the area or have been here for a long time, you will find you have a place in the Palo Alto Alumnae Association. Many Kappas move here each year and are eager to learn about the area and make new friends. We have received many awards over the years, but are most recognized for our dedication to philanthropic work.
